At press time, Mark Yeh is four weeks away from completing his med school requirements. Then he will start his residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (more popularly known as ears, nose, and throat) at Duke. Yay, Mark! Mark writes that Scott Lush is applying to business schools, Mike Kim is finishing his Ph.D. dissertation in Asian studies at Harvard, and Stephen Kong is working with his brother on a successful high-society review magazine called the Chicago Social.

Bruce Sacerdote writes, "Kudos to Mike Kanarick for finishing fourth in the New York City Marathon. Unfortunately most newspapers covering the event misspelled Mike's name as 'Simon Lopuyet.'" Gary Katz turned down another offer as assistant D.A. for Massachusetts and has decided to continue his clerkship with Judge Wampner of The People's Court.Mike Uram has been accepted at numerous prestigious medical schools and will soon leave his current job at the Men's Diagnostic Center. Nina Kushner has broken off her long-standing affair with Bob Dole, citing "the pressures of yet another campaign." Nina will most likely keep her "Dole in '96" tattoo, though she may change the date.

Tracy Gleason (yes, again) was quoted in a March Parents Magazine piece on children and their imaginary friends. I don't know what she said. Tracy's (very real) freshman-year roommate, DanaWeintraub , is now in her second year of med school at UMass in Worcester. She dedicates most of her free time to an after school photography and tutoring program she started for homeless children, and she still plays soccer with a number of Dartmouth teammates including Caitlin Staunton. Dana will marry Michael Callahan, whom she met right out of Dartmouth working for Skadden, Arps in D.C. Dana attended Karen Buchsbaum's wedding in Philadelphia. Karen married Tim Bock, whom she met in New York City, where they still live. Also attending were newlyweds Jennifer Martin, now Jennifer Morrison, with her husband, George, who live in Foxboro, Mass., and Gillian Doyle, who married Dan Sheehan and lives in Cleveland.

Jeff Wolf graduated from med school in June 1994 and is in his second year of residency in internal medicine at NYU/Bellevue, where he is in charge of a team of interns. He has one more year of residency and is now applying for fellowships in pulmonary/critical care medicine. On June 2 Jeff will marry Corri Iser, a former dietitian at Bellevue whom he met in medical school and to whom he proposed at the top of Baker Tower.

I recently read the following: "As an explanation of probability, it has often been said that, given an infinite amount of time, a chimpanzee with a typewriter could by chance type the complete works of Shakespeare. However, in a recently published discussion, one correspondent calculated that it might take 140,000 years of non-stop random typing before a chimp stumbled on just the first three words of Hamlet's soliloquy 'To be or not to be.' Therefore, to achieve the full complement of 884,647 words, with spaces and punctuation, in the right order, would take longer than the period during which the universe has existed. Even simplifying the task by issuing a keyboard with only 26 letters and a space bar, at a rate of one key per second it would take 12 years to type 'Macbet.' As the chances of hitting the letters in the correct sequence reduce the longer the word gets, 331 years would be required to achieve the complete name 'Macbeth.'" No wonder it's taking some '9os so long to write to me!
